Sightseeing Spot in This Area

In Sakaiminato, the “city of fish and Kitaro”, there is still plenty of attractive destinations to visit besides the Mizuki Shigeru Road. For example, the Sea and Life Museum (as pictured) is located in a building built in the Meiji era which was once a sake brewery house. The museum is particularly rare, as it houses an extensive collection of taxidermied fishes. In Yume Minato Tower of Yume Minato Park, you can enjoy a 360° panorama overlooking the Sea of Japan from the observation deck.
